CINCINNATI — UC is among the top remaining schools for four-star 2024 edge rusher Elias Rudolph out of Taft (Ohio).

Cincinnati offered him in the middle of December and quickly made a strong impression.

According to 247Sports, Rudolph is the 116th-ranked player in this class and the 11th-ranked edge rusher. ESPN has him ranked 140th overall and 19th among edge rushers.

He held 20 offers but is down to Tennessee, Michigan State, Kentucky, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Michigan, Arkansas, Georgia Tech, West Virginia, and Pittsburgh.

Rudolph is a bit slight at 6-foot-5, 215 pounds, but he bends like a gymnast and is usually the most athletic player on every snap. The junior has a great speed rush and spin move combo that he uses to win on the outside. When he lines up inside, that speed pops even more. A lot of his highlights remind me of current Arizona Cardinal, Myjai Sanders.

He would be a major win for the Bearcats' new staff and become the new highest-rated UC recruit in the 247Sports era.
